No Friend to This House
by Natalie Haynes
Natalie Haynes' new book is marketed as a Medea retelling, but tells a wider story. We follow Jason and the Argonauts from the onset of their voyage until Jason's death. However, rather than following a linear pattern focusing on the male heroes, as traditional versions of the story do, No Friend To This House gives voice to the women and children who are often left on the sidelines.
I really enjoyed the way this book was written, as it shifts points of view for each scene, allowing for a fresh take on the tale.
If anyone has read this and figured out what the words in italics under the section headings mean, please let me know (I have a feeling they might make sense if all read together but that's hard to do on Kindle)!
A recommended read for fans of mythology retellings that give a voice to the voiceless.
Thank you to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
